The Canadian War Museum has a long and distinguished history dating back as far as 1880. During this time, the Canadian War Museum consisted primarily of a collection of militia artifacts. Most of the museums collections were stored in an old streetcar barn in west-central Ottawa. By May 2001, the federal government announced its support for the construction of a new Canadian War Museum and in May 2005 the grand opening also celebrated the 125th anniversary of the Canadian War Museum itself.
The Canadian War Museum consists of 7 main sections:
- Gallery 1 – Battleground: Wars on Our Soil, earliest times to 1885
- Gallery 2 – For Crown and Country: The South African and First World Wars, 1885-1931
- Gallery 3 – Forged in Fire: The Second World War, 1931-1945
- Gallery 4 – A Violent Peace: The Cold War, Peacekeeping, and Recent Conflicts, 1945 to the present
- Area 5 – The Royal Canadian Legion Hall of Honour
- Area 6 – LeBreton Gallery: The military technology collection
- Area 7 – Regeneration Hall
